Planning & Zoning Board July 13, 2005 Page 5 APPROVED MINUTES Mr. Nelson asked why would a second sign on a bu ilding need to be sm aller than the first sign. Chair Rafferty stated the defini tion as written made sense to him. Mr. Tralle stated he had no problem with the tw o signs being the same size. He stated he also wanted to have signage for only tenant s of that building and not a tenant of an adjacent building. Chair Rafferty invited anyone for or agai nst this proposal to make comment. Katie Allen, Allure Salon, Spirit Hills Mall, stat ed she rented a corner lot, but she was not on a street, so could she put a second sign on the corner. Mr. Pogalz replied she could not because Spirit Hills had a signage plan as a part of the project and these Ordinance changes would not void this signage plan. Ms. Allen asked how they could address this with the City. Mr. Bengston replied the owner of Spirit Hills Mall would need to co me in and work with staff to potentially change the signage plan. Ms. Allen asked if it was possible Spirit Hills Mall could apply for a permanent sign that was not on the Spirit Hills pr operty. Mr. Smyser replied that is not allowed under the City’s Ordinance and the City had made it cl ear that they did not want any additional billboards. Mr. Nelson asked if that would include a monu ment sign. Mr. Smyser stated the City had made it very clear that it did not want any off premises signs. Mr. Laden asked if Ware Road was part of the Spirit Hills development. Mr. Smyser replied he did not believe it was. Ms. Allen stated the problem they had was th at unless someone drove down Birch Street, people did not know what was in Spirit Hill s Mall. She noted they were unable to advertise on the back of their building either. She stated if the City was not going to allow billboards or signage, then they were stuck with what they had. Mr. Laden noted she had the option of going to the owner of their property and the owner would need to work with City staff on additional signage. Mr. Pogalz made a MOTION to continue the public hearing to th e August, 2005 Planning and Zoning meeting and was supported by Mr. Nelson. Motion carried 6-0. VI. DISCUSSION ITEMS A.
